如何在plotly python中的add_shape上使add_traces中的文本可见

Question

I have a plot having rectangles and text. I see that my text in the add_traces is not visible. But when I tried to remove the fill color in add_shape(), I can see the traces. Here is a sample code:

for row in df.index:
    fig.add_shape(type="rect",x0=start, y0=1, x1=start+df[score][row], y1=1.5,line=dict(color='green',),fillcolor='green',)
    start=start+df['score'][row]+2
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=np.cumsum(list(df['score']+2))-df['score'][0],y=[1.25]*df.shape[0],mode="text",textfont=dict(family="sans serif",size=10,color="yellow"),
    text=list(df['Exon_Number']), showlegend=False,textposition='top center',))

How do I make the text visible by displaying the traces over the rectangle shape?

Many thanks in advance!

Answering my own questions hoping it helps anyone in the future.

In the add_shape function, we can send the layer back using layer='below'. Due to this, the text traces would be visible.

for row in df.index: fig.add_shape(type="rect",x0=start, y0=1, x1=start+df[score][row], y1=1.5,layer = 'below',line=dict(color='green',),fillcolor='green',) start=start+df['score'][row]+2 fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=np.cumsum(list(df['score']+2))-df['score'][0],y=[1.25]*df.shape[0],mode="text",textfont=dict(family="sans serif",size=10,color="yellow"), text=list(df['Exon_Number']), showlegend=False,textposition='top center',))
